Remind

Remind is a free communication platform built for teachers. Remind allows teachers to safely and efficiently communicate with students & parents about important classroom information and school activities. Subscribers sign up as a student or parent and choose to receive messages by text, email, or in the app. Remind allows all participants to keep their phone numbers anonymous.

I have been using Remind for two years and I find it highly effective. I am able to chat with parents and alert the all participants of events in the classroom, and changes in scheduling. Students are able to reach out to me with questions through the app and I am very happy to have found it.
